More Kids To Benefit From Second
Mountain" Donation
More kids will enjoy hands-on
science and technology education
at one o f the nation’s top ten sci
ence museums thanks to a $25,000
donation received by the Oregon
Museum o f Science and Industry
from the Spirit Mountain Commu
nity Fund.
The donation is the second gift
received from the Spirit Mountain
Community Fund which will sup
port free visits to the museum by
Willamette Valley students and
their teachers. The Fund gave
OMS1 $ 15,000 in December 1997
to provide free field trips for
schools, in addition to a $250,000 do
nation supporting the museum’s captial
campaign.
More than 1,400 students and teach
ers form schools in Grand Ronde,
Sheridan, Willamina and Corvallis
already have enjoyed free visits to
OMS1 as part of the Spirit Mountain
Community Fund’s first donation, with
a total of 2,000 students and teachers
expected to benefit from this initial
gift. Due to overwhelming interest
from area schools, the Spirit Mountain
Community Fund responded with a
second donation.
The $25,000 donation will continue
to fund free visits from schools in the
Willamette Valley area. A total of
about 3,500 students and teachers are
expected to enjoy museum visits
funded through this second donation.
The visits will begin at the end o f
April.
“The Spirit Mountain Community
Fund is pleased to expand science and
technology education for children and
teachers outside the Portland area who
may not otherwise be able to afford
educational visits toOMSI,” explained
Chuck Galford, Spirit Mountain Ca
sino marketing director and Fund
board member.
